Please read! I want to play some tennis but have a few problems. What should I do…?

Question by Me<3<3<3: Please read! I want to play some tennis but have a few problems. What should I do…?
So I want to play tennis in my free time and would love to take lessons. I already know the basics but I want to learn new stuff and I want to get better. Tennis is one of my favorite sports and I want to use my free time to play. There are a few problems though:
1. There are barely any tennis instructors around me (i think there are 4)
2. I can’t travel out too far for lessons.
3. The ones that are near me are so expensive ($ 300 a week at the cheapest. No thank you!)

There are tennis courts right next to my house that belong to my school so I can use those, but I have NO ONE to hit with. It also has no wall otherwise I would use that and not be asking this question.

Best answer:

Answer by petRodentsPURPLE
Try finding a large empty wall with no window or anything, and make sure, on that wall, you know just about where the net height is. Just practice hitting against the wall. I do that all the time for practice.

Should I play tennis? EASY POINTS!?

Question by monomojo: Should I play tennis? EASY POINTS!?
I am an unathletic 13 year old female, and im wondering if i should start playing tennis. Okay so i hate any form of physical fitness, but ive decided that i have to start exercising more just to stay healthy [im not overweight or anything], so i realized that i just have tennis rackets and tennis balls lying around my garage, and i have a tennis court nearby my house so maybe i should learn. im really good at badminton which is sort of like tennis, but i guess its more recreational, but do you guys think this is good for a beginner? I wanted to play something that wouldn’t require too much physical ability. OH and i hate competetion, which is bad because theres competition in everything, but i think tennis would get me more adjusted to a more competitive mentality. So should I play? Thanks for your answers:)

What am I doing wrong with my tennis racket?

Question by i-TimeZer0: What am I doing wrong with my tennis racket?
When I play tennis I watch people on TV hit the ball so powerful and they land in the court. I follow the exact tactics on the wall and the court and they either go above the line on the wall or they go out of bounds on the court or over the chain fence. I want to learn how to control my shots while maintaining the powerful. Is there a specific tactic that I am supposed to use to keep it in or grip if so let me know so I can make adjustments and get better.

Best answer:

Answer by Steve
Practice! they use top spin a lot so hit the ball at the top so it doesn’t go to too high and then start increasing speed

what is the best tennis court to play on?

Question by I<3theclickfive: what is the best tennis court to play on?
i am a beginner and i really love tennis but i would like to know which court would be best to learn on. i dont want your answer to be based on the fact that i am a beginner but what type of court surface will enhance my playing skills more than other courts – even in the long term? i have learned on clay and hardcourt surfaces but my senses arent developed enough for me to tell a difference. anyway- thanks.

Answer by ~JYP
HARD COURT:

Most of the pro season is based around hard courts, so hard courts are what you need to be good at playing on, especially in the UK and USA.

Clay is generally played in Southern European countries and Grass is quite rare and generally played in northern Europe.

Indoor Hardcourts are fine aswell, but outdoor again, is the main court to play on.

There are only one or two carpet events, so don’t even go there!

HARD COURTS (preferably outdoor in USA and either in UK)
